RV & Camper Park on the Spring River Hardy, Arkansas
|
Established in 1986, River Bend RV Camper Park is situated along
side the Spring River near Hardy, in Sharp County, Arkansas. The
Park Contains approximately 700 camper lots divided into 10
blocks. Our patrons own their lots and pay a yearly assessment
and maintenance fee for the use of the facilities and amenities,
including two swimming pools, five bathhouses and a playground
park.
Emerging near the Missouri border in north eastern Arkansas, the
Spring River has been described as the state's most dependable
natural stream, and best float trip, Mammoth Spring, flowing at over
nine million gallons of 58-degree water per hour, serves as the
headwaters for the river and provides plenty of fresh water
throughout the year. Trout and walleye fishing are rated tops, and
floating between Mammoth Spring and Hardy is excellent for
beginning and intermediate canoeists. Many areas of the upper
Spring River are popular with fly fishermen. The river is crystal-clear,
with long pools and whitewater falls. The scenery is mostly
hardwood forest with some rocky bluffs. Access is from U.S. 63.
which parallels much of the upper Spring.
The South Fork of the river is a mild, beautiful warm water stream
with excellent
scenery ideal for a leisurely float trip.

Hardy, which was a railroad construction camp in 1884, has
retained its old-charm appearance along Main Street. In fact,
Hardy's central downtown area is on the National Register of
Historic Places and hasn't changed much since Model-T days.
New growth and attractions have located at the edges of town,
leaving a tiny mecca for craft and antique shopping in the heart
of town. The little town boasts three museums, summer musical
shows, bed and breakfast inns and several festivals each year.
Cherokee Village, the state's first resort/retirement settlement, is
just southwest of town, offering lake activities and two
championship golf courses.
